PCOS Fundamentals

🎙️ In this episode, I break down what PCOS actually is beyond the label walking you through its underlying pathophysiology, what’s really happening at a hormonal and metabolic level, and why it’s so often misunderstood.⚡ From there, I unpack the Rotterdam criteria and how PCOS is diagnosed, including where women are commonly misdiagnosed or overlooked, and what a thorough, accurate workup should actually include.🧬 We then move into the four distinct types of PCOS insulin-resistant, inflammatory, post-pill, and adrenal exploring how each presents differently and why this distinction completely changes the approach to treatment.🥗 Building on this, I take you through what to actually focus on with diet, exercise, and lifestyle depending on your PCOS type cutting through generic advice and getting specific about what supports ovulation, hormone balance, and long-term metabolic health.🌿 I also cover the supplements and herbal interventions that have real evidence behind them, when to use them, and how they work within the bigger picture of restoring hormonal function.🔵 Arc Woman™ content is protected by copyright and trademark laws.
